I love my Amex cards and I think Amex cards can be great, but you have to be on top of things to make sure you get great value from them. I don't think most people do enough research or optimize the benefits of the cards. I think for most people a Chase setup would benifit them more. But if you understand the game and you're disapline, Amex is Gold! (Or Platinum 😉)

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE PERIOD.

@GrantsPerspective 2 года назад

Canadian Platinum; $200 travel credit is big, then the immediate Gold Status at Bonvoy which can be status matched to a bunch of different places (Bonvoy Gold to Wyndham Platinum to Ceasers Platinum to M Life Gold, for Vegas), Lounges (which are ~$50 each time I'm in an airport), and really good insurance that prevents me from having to spend $150-$200 a trip for similar coverage are all huge. Then incidentals like extended warranty and purchase protection are quite minor, but nice perks. Then there's the other less used things like Fine Hotels and Resorts (which is good for a short stay for the upgrade and credits), the bang-on customer service, and all the insurance, the offers which returns anywhere from $50-$200 a year in free stuff I was going to buy anyway? Makes up for the annual fee and then some.

I am interested in the premium rental car you can elect to purchase through your Amex card. It is primary coverage for your rental car for $25 per rental period, as long as it is no more than 41 days. How does it compare to the primary coverage with Chase, which has no up charge? I have used the Amex coverage, but never had to make a claim. Anyone ever had to make a claim? I understand there is no deductible.

@lowstringc 2 года назад

I do, however, have a very low-spend lifestyle in very rural America, so the high annual fee cards they offer just don’t suit us. I can come out ahead on groceries, but we only travel every few years after saving up, don’t have access to Uber, or food delivery (or actually any restaurants within 15 miles, and then only 4 if you include a Dunkin in a gas station and a Subway…), so almost all the perks of those guys are inaccessible to me (and I have the Propel, Savor, and Uber cards, so dining’s covered if we ever eat out…). AmEx’s top tiers are great cards if you live a life, or have a job that allows you to to maximize them, but for me and our lifestyle, the numbers don’t work out…

Travel rewards suck right now and most of the Amex offers other than travel are for central city dwellers. Those of us who live in rural and suburban areas and still use Amex are subsidizing the takers in the city. This is nothing new as rural and suburban America is now and has been subsidizing city dwellers for decades. The vast majority of federal tax money is spent on dependent city dwellers for housing credits WIC, aid to dependent children and other welfare programs. With that in mind, it would be excellent if some financial institutions would decide to reward those who actually pay the freight for the super dependent city dwellers.
